Statue of the Virgin Mary is Left Miraculously Intact After FireA violent fire
at a military base near Madrid spared nothing except a small statue and
surrounding vegetationThe events took place at the El Goloso military base,
located near the Spanish capital, seat of the nation's armored infantry brigade
"Guadarrama." According to several Spanish news sites, including Infovaticana
and Religión en Libertad, a fire broke out that was impossible to control,
burning most of the surrounding vegetation.
Once the flames were extinguished, to the soldiers’ surprise, in the middle of
the charred area, stood a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes — totally undamaged!
What's more, the soldiers were shocked to see that the grass near the statue
had not been touched by the flames and that it was even still surrounded by
vases filled with flowers, also intact, as if the flames had respected the
space around the statue.
August 24, 2015 @JMZavalaOficial The events took place at the El Goloso
military base, located near the Spanish capital, seat of the nation's armored
infantry brigade "Guadarrama." According to several Spanish news sites,
including Infovaticana and Religión en Libertad, a fire broke out that was
impossible to control, burning most of the surrounding vegetation.
Once the flames were extinguished, to the soldiers’ surprise, in the middle of
the charred area, stood a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes—totally undamaged!
What's more, the soldiers were shocked to see that the grass near the statue
had not been touched by the flames and that it was even still surrounded by
vases filled with flowers, also intact, as if the flames had respected the
space around the statue.
The fire took place on July 30, in the middle of the heat wave which had
descended upon Spain. The soldiers could not explain why the statue had
suffered no damage nor why the flowers had not even been blackened or withered
by the heat. The story quickly spread though social networks, some suspecting a
fraud, but further investigations have dispelled all possible doubts. In the
photographs, one can easily see that the ground is completely burnt, except
near the statue.
Indeed, for the most part, the soldiers on the base did not know that there
was a statue of the Virgin in their garden. However, some of them who had a
special devotion to Mother Mary had recommended themselves to this
representation of Our Lady of Lourdes. And, the statue had already participated
in official ceremonies at the military base.
The local authorities’ investigation seems sufficient to clarify the natural
aspects of the event. There are realities that human knowledge cannot
understand but that faith explains. And human science and faith, working
together, offer some explanation.
Still, this story reveals Our Lady’s special protection of this statue,
however simple and unpretentious. And everyone can learn a lesson from this.
Unexpected events may occur that set fire to a world full of threats and evils.
In the near future, in the midst of disasters that we cannot even imagine, Our
Lady—especially Our Lady of Lourdes–will go through them, fearless and
untouched, with the symbols of the devotion of the faithful. And those who
believe, even if they are a minority discredited by the atheist or unbelieving
majority, will be recognized amid the tragedy as Heaven’s beloved children.
